I would definitely recommend everyone to stay away from Mr. Rad unless you are willing to risk your case in the court system and also want a guaranteed inflated bill. He has history of suing his own clients if they do not agree to pay the inflated bill; be careful with what you share with him.

When you meet with him for the first time, he will make you feel welcome and promise to win your case. However, once you hire him, he will drain you financially without making any progress. Please avoid him; he is neither a good person nor a good lawyer.

We hired Attorney Marwa Elzankaly to represent a state licensed business. The contract stated Marwa Elzankaly would assist the business in getting licensed and permitted. Attorney Marwa Elzankaly charged over 40K to do and re-do the paperwork. Was unable to argue with the state licensing Attorney who was treating us unfairly. And Attorney Marwa Elzankaly withdrew her legal representation 1 week prior to the Administrative Hearing began. We had to spend over 26K to hire a different Private Attorney. We contacted McManis & Faulkner Law firm. Mr. McManis refused a refund of the 40K.

Jack Easterbrook was the "primary attorney", representing me some years ago, as a small business owner, in a Commercial case (theft of customers by an ex-employee). Easterbrook billed me approximately $50,000+ in legal fees, though got my ex-employee to pay a settlement of $30,000. (Not worth my time and uncertainty of outcome. But, lesson learned).
But then the ex-employee filed a claim, that the $30,000 was not justified..(even though Easterbrook had purportedly won it for me in the settlement). Easterbrook advised not to worry about including a settlement of it, as part of the original aforementioned herein case. But instead to defend against it subsequently (case #2). Then as case #2 proceeded, and remembering well the time and cost of case #1, said would cost less in legal fees for case #2, than paying back the $30,000. I said if it looked like it was going to approach $30,000 in legal fees for case #2, to stop and I'd pay the $30,000 to settle. However, over the course of several months, Easterbrook utilized what I'd call a slow/flood method (monthly "slow" billings of $1K - $2K, while suggesting close to closure...then intra-month with no warning, a "flood" billing of $30K+). This resulted in another approximately $50,000 in legal fees to Easterbrook, and still my having to pay back the $30,000 to the employee.
Summary: The only winner here is Jack Easterbrook, double dipping for approximately $100,000 in legal fees. While Jack Easterbrook:
1) first took a case that he arguably should have known would cost more than could win.
2) not able to win a subsequent case, just to be able to keep for me, what he "won" in the first case.
PS
As it's been some years, Easterbrook may: a) feign not remembering my case,
b) write some generic non-response, like this is so against his core values, that it couldn't have happened.
c) Or, he'll combine a) & b), while having a paralegal post for him. Since he's unlikely to go on record, under his own. You know what that means.... he's hiding.

Jack Easterbrook and his team at Strategy Law have done a great job for us documenting complex loan transactions, including deals with unusual collateral; ESOP owned companies, as well as matters involving multiple related parties and guarantors. We count on them for high quality and timely legal work and they are able to handle it for us. Jack and his team make it a point to be extremely accessible to us which can make all of the difference in the world in successfully closing a banking transaction. We also appreciate that Jack and his team are there for us with thoughtful advice about issues that come up in the course of putting together and structuring loan proposals and various ways to interpret certain bank related legal documents.

Tony is a very caring lawyer. He puts himself in his client's situation and tries to help them as much as he can. I feel that he listen to me and work with me and put all his effort into our case.

Anthony Delas was such a horrible Attorney to deal with and here is why. Besides taking 2 years rather than 6 months to go through my bankruptcy process he always kept me in the dark of what was going on and what I should expect. He would always give me a days notice for meetings or important appointments which would get in trouble at work. His emails are very hard to understand and he would always have me resend attachments because he would "lose" them. I wouldn't recommend this attorney. He was such a headache to work with and made this process even more stressful. I honestly felt like he wasn't on my side. I was already very stressed and upset that I had to go bankrupt and he made the experience even worst.

Great attorney with more than 40 years of experience. His mind is like a steel trap - he remembers every detail and brings them up when it matters. He knows EVERYONE in Santa Clara as he's practiced law here for 40+ years. He's not in this for the money, he does this for love of the Law and to help people. However his office is old fashioned - doesn't use the latest technology and it's difficult to get an appointment on his calendar or to reach him as he is in Court or negotiations from morning til night. He got me positive results - which is probably what matters the most.

I am very satisfied with Walter and his associates. I worked with Walter for many years as he was representing my custody case. Walter was very helpful in every aspect. He was very knowledgeable, quick to respond, and helpful in answering any questions I had regarding my complicated custody case. The entire staff is very easy to work with and they always got back to me very promptly. With the help from Walter and his team I was able to get exactly what I was looking for in my custody case! I would highly recommend using Walter any divorce for custody needs.

If I can rate it zero stars I would. This is absolutely a clown show of lawyers that just pass on the case from lawyer to lawyer! Nobody seems to have any information of anything. They pressured us to get the money within an hour to have the case worked on immediately. Which stressed my family and me out getting the money! As soon as we got it they comfort us saying they will start, but no lawyer ever contacted us and the day of the court they didn’t even BOTHER TO SHOW UP! Which resulted in the court to be pushed back till next month. Absolutely disappointed, I trusted this firm because I was recommended by one of their own employees! I urge anyone that is looking for a good lawyer and actually do their job DO NOT COME HERE! They will take your money and not give a care about your case !! They prey on financially unstable people to pressure them and take their money! Unfortunately I was a victim of this false advertisement they show case. I urge anyone that is trying to get their loved one out please don’t come here! There is a reason why they have less than two stars on ratings
Si puedo calificarlo con cero estrellas, lo haría. ¡Este es absolutamente un espectáculo de payasos de abogados que simplemente pasan el caso de abogado a abogado! Nadie parece tener información de nada. Nos presionaron para que consiguiéramos el dinero en el plazo de una hora para poder resolver el caso de inmediato. ¡Lo cual nos estresó a mi familia y a mí por no conseguir el dinero! Tan pronto como lo recibimos nos consolaron diciendo que empezarían, pero ningún abogado nos contactó y el día de la corte ¡ni siquiera SE MOLESTARON EN PRESENTARSE! Lo que resultó en que el tribunal se pospusiera hasta el próximo mes. Absolutamente decepcionado, confié en esta empresa porque me recomendó uno de sus propios empleados. Le recomiendo a cualquiera que esté buscando un buen abogado y que realmente haga su trabajo ¡NO VENGA AQUÍ! ¡¡Ellos tomarán su dinero y no se preocuparán por su caso!! ¡Se aprovechan de personas financieramente inestables para presionarlos y quitarles su dinero! Lamentablemente fui víctima de esta publicidad falsa que muestran caso. ¡Le recomiendo a cualquiera que esté tratando de sacar a su ser querido que no venga aquí! Hay una razón por la que tienen menos de dos estrellas en las calificaciones.

I hired Drew to do some work with my startup as we were considering potential M&A offers - he was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. We had an issue come up with a contract on Sunday morning and he hopped on a call with me Sunday afternoon to discuss.
One thing to consider when hiring an attorney is the size of the firm, will you work directly with your point of contact or are you getting handed off to an associate? I worked with Drew from start to finish and appreciated his level of hands-on, personal service.

I hired Drew to set up my corporation professionally when I could have done it online for a few hundred dollars. After paying over $7,000 to have this set up by him, I am left with cleanup to do because he made mistakes. Similar to the other reviewer, his math was incorrect on my company stock options agreements, so those contracts are invalid. He also did not provide me with any stock certificates, so I cannot execute said agreements either. I asked him to fix these agreements, and he never responded. If I used on online service, I would have received a corporate package with certificates, templates, a company seal, etc. I did not receive any of this through him.
I also paid him to correct my company name, and he only corrected it in Delaware, so now my corporation has 2 names! He said it does not matter. He became very rude when I asked him to fix this and refused.
As a business owner it's extremely important to appreciate your clients, since without them, the business could not operate. I ended up regretting that I hired Drew and felt totally unappreciated as a paying client.
My review of Drew's service is not all negative. He did a good job on some documents, but overall I cannot recommend him because he made some crucial errors, became rude and did not complete the work I paid for.

Seemed OK at first. I hired him. After that a nightmare ensued. He got into a private correspondence with a prospective business partner and wrote all the paperwork to suit him it seemed (his consultancy contract etc)....even the founder stock split was compltely wrong, giving him 18.5% of the company instead of the 15% he was supposed to get. Luckliy I did the msth and discovered it. When confronted, Drew pleaded the fifth, (no repl) and just sent me a bill for the $1500 I spent on him from my personal credit card. Also gave me horrendous advice which could have got a prospective consultant on H1B visa deported. Never a sorry, I heard not one ooops (I am sorry) from this guy. Good luck...

Lack of follow-up
Extremely disappointed with my experience with Attorney Maing. Beware if you are going to consult his services. My husband and I have been trying to contact him and no have not received any response. We reached out to Maing & Co and was transferred to the San Jose office. Went to the location and nothing. Unfortunately, I reached out to him in 2019 and last spoke with his assistant in 2020. My car accident case is from 2018 and remains unresolved. I am still trying to reach him. Very poor services, professionalism, and communication.

I really didn't want to have to write a bad review, but I feel compelled to warn others of Mr. Maing's behavior.
I was extremely disappointed in my experience with him. If you are going to hire him, PLEASE be prepared to constantly follow-up on given deadlines immediately once passed (and trust me when I say you will need to follow-up). And even then, expect your calls not to be returned. My calls were not returned until weeks later, and only after I actually spoke with his boss. This happened on more than 3 different occasions, so please remember to document your conversations well. But the saddest part was that when my calls were returned, there was an excuse not acknowledging that the ball was dropped. I was thinking that I was mistaken until I started taking notes during my conversations with him. Initially, It wasn't until then that I realized that I was being told one thing initially, then told something completely different later on. I had to have a very frank conversation with Mr. Maing and only then was he finally truthful about his errors.
Unfortunately, this did not change his behavior. 6 months was wasted for a complaint that needed to be filed within a year of it actually happening. Perhaps with more experience, things may change

I recommend you avoid this guy. I worked with him once and won't make the same mistake twice. He prepares motions like a Paralegal does - without anticipating there may be any response. He doesn't think two steps ahead - I'm not sure he thinks one step ahead. His lack of skills and lack of strategy or insight has led to his career bouncing around like a billiard ball in a Navy port when the ships come in.
At one point, Mr Vaccarezza's office was in a Bicyle shop [ 2240 Paragon Dr, San Jose] then he upgraded to the Flea Market [wasn't even suited to be an attorney for the San Jose [Berryessa] Flea Market where one could presume he was one of the few who could write English.
Mr. Vaccarezza graduated from Humprreys College of Law - which US News ranks at #6,494 in the national rankings. Some folks chose a top 10 school - he chose a school that was ranked in the top 10,000 in America.
Mr. Vaccarezza can put together legal contracts just like a 3-year-old can assemble a house of cards. If you want your contract or case to withstand the slightest opposition you may want to look elsewhere to avoid the matter crumbling like a house of cards at the slightest hint of wind.
He is however exceptionally skilled at pursuing people without the means to defend themselves.
Everyone has a purpose in life - I hope Mr. Vaccarezza finds his.
These opinions are my own and are based on my own perspective and opinion and are not intended to malign any individual, religion, ethnic group, or company.

I contacted Loren back when he still had an office on Charcot. He had good presentation and assured me he understood how to handle my case. Nice guy - good reviews - so what could possibly go wrong.
Shortly after I paid the retainer - the problems started happening. My case was more complex than he expected.
He needed me to repeat details multiple times - so I switched to communicating in writing -
He would show up late - or not be available when he said he was available.
The forms he filed on my behalf didn't have mistakes - so he's good at filling out forms like a Para Legal would. But when it came to litigating of follow-through I wasn't impressed.
Shortly after I retained him - his office moved to the San jose Flea Market where he now acts as a para-legal for non-english speaking flea market vendors. I switched attorneys and saw a huge difference.

Jay Ross positions himself as an expert and leader in construction defect litigation. He is not even close. Construction defect requires at least a basic understanding of insurance, insurance agreements, and the possibility that a contractor will use bankruptcy to delay and avoid fulfilling his/her requirements.
Jay took on our case and told us that he expected a 12-18 month time frame and $50-$100K in legal fees. The damages were approximately $375,000.
He never once questioned whether insurance would even cover the defects and if not how to collect from the contractor. He never considered a writ of attachment and was aware that the contractor had previously filed for bankruptcy and there were questions about his workers comp status.

This lawyer is the least reliable lawyer I've ever met. He filed my H-1b visa for two years, but for the first year he failed to submit my documentation on time, and the second year he didn't even file the right position required by USCIS. Later, he explained that it was because USCIS became picky!! WTF?
During the process, I sent a lot of emails asking the status but they were extremely lame to respond; the replied very slow, or even ignored my emails. I think the only reason that my company is using them is that this lawyer is CHEAP.
Thanks for helping me say bye to the U.S.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
- Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How Are Business Lawyers Paid?
Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
- Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.
The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.
It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
